Southern Railway has decided to electrify the recently-commissioned Salem-Karur broad gauge section. The plan has been forwarded to the railway board for consideration.
Southern Railway General Manager, Rakesh Mishra while speaking to the media after inspecting the Karur junction on Friday said electrification of the track would become a reality in five or six years. He expressed satisfaction at the completion of infrastructure and facilities in the section including those at the new stations en route. Pointing out that the first express train service on the section, the Chennai-Palani-Chennai express was being operated for the past few days, Mr. Mishra discounted the possibility of any diversion of passenger services.
